Páramo care using Nikwax
The waterproof performance of your garment can be maintained indefinitely by
following guidelines. Nikwax garment aftercare products are Easier
and Safer to use and combine with the innovation of the Nikwax Analogy garments to keep you Drier.
Benefits of Nikwax Loft Tech Wash
- Conventional detergents destroy the water-repellent finishes on all
waterproof garments.
- Loft Tech Wash is a non-detergent, biodegradable liquid soap that removes
detergent residue and dirt, whilst leaving the water- repellency intact.
How often should I wash my garments?
- We advise washing with Loft Tech Wash every 4-8 weeks of regular wear.
Rapid wetting of the outer fabric in rain (i.e. water absorbed by the fabric) is
a sure sign the water-repellency is fading and washing is required.
How do I remove stubborn stains?
- Stains such as food, mud or watermarks can be easily removed with
undiluted Loft Tech Wash or any household detergent.
- More stubborn oil or grease stains may require dry cleaning to remove them.
- If detergents or dry cleaning are used, the garment will require washing
with Loft Tech Wash followed by reproofing with Nikwax Wash-In TX.Direct.
Reproofing with Wash-In TX.Direct
- Water-absorbency of outer fabrics is reduced, minimising weight gain,
heat loss and optimising breathability. Keeps you drier and safer.
- Nikwax Wash-In TX.Direct is easy to use in a washing machine or by hand.
Every fibre is coated with water repellency, ensuring that no areas are missed.
- Garments should be reproofed with Nikwax Wash-In TX.Direct every 12
months, or when washing with Nikwax Loft Tech Wash fails to restore the water-repellency.
Check by running water over part of the garment. Water should run off in beads.
Sizes available
- Loft Tech Wash and TX.Direct are available in 300ml and 1litre sizes
